Kay, I changed the subject as 'Modern States' has nothing to do with the exodus of Germans to England in 1709 or the emigration of the Palatines to Pennsylvania between 1707 and 1740. The emigration of the Palatines to England in 1709 under the leadership of the Rev. Joshua from Kocherthal is explained in detail in the book titled "The German Exodus to England in 1709" and "The German Emigration to America, 1709-1740". Both books can be read online or downloaded as pdf files at http://www.archive.org/details/germanexodustoen07diff and http://www.archive.org/details/germanemigration08jaco The books will tell you why the Palatines emigrated first to England on the invitation by Queen Anne and how from there they were transported to the east coast of America where they subsequently became known as the 'Pennsylvania Dutch', although the term 'Dutch' in this case was the translation of 'Deutsch' [German] and nothing whatsoever to do with the Dutch in Holland.
